Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 22nd instant, and shall be pleased to arrange to put through three cams our M.22517, but specially finished in the way that you suggest. We have asked our Works to let us have delivery of these experimental cams as quickly as ever possible. Unfortunately, we are not able to get these special cams on to the machines immediately, in view of the fact that we are being urged for production cams, by your Purchase Department. We do not anticipate any undue delay in getting these on to the machines, but please be assured that we will give our earnest attention to the same. We are, Yours faithfully, for ADAMANT ENGINEERING COMPANY LTD. [Signature] Sales Manager. | ||
